Future of flight - materials
In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore the materials they know and how they might be grouped. They also consider what materials they could use to regulate temperature and protect against the cold. They create a bouncy ball using a synthetic material and...
Future of flight - teacher introduction
The challenges in this resource invite pupils to explore innovations within flight technology. Explore the role of AI and machine learning and communication in aviation, investigate the forces of flight, experiment with material science and dig into the changes happening that are making flight technology more...
Future of flight - theory of flight
In this Future of Flight challenge pupils explore flight in nature investigating biomimicry and flight technology. They consider what the forces of flight are and investigate forces with gliders and through using a wind tunnel.
If the original physical materials...

Getting Girls into Engineering: Best Practice Case Study
This London Engineering Project best practice case study, from the Royal Academy of Engineering, describes the actions and results of the project's efforts to integrate equality and ensure the participation of girls in STEM activities.
...Good vibrations
Students can see sound vibrations through these practical and engaging experiments.
Group umbrella
This resource is a set of instructions for groups of six students to make a working umbrella mechanism out of simple materials. It is a completely practical activity with no formal maths content but it is very useful for linking the students’ work on deployable structures to a real piece of engineering that they...
A lot of people eat baked beans, the Heinz factory in Wigan makes over 1.5 million cans a day. From field to plate, engineers are needed every step of the way.
In this booklet you can read about people who are engineers and think about how they might have helped the baked bean on its journey. You can see all...
How to make your own hovercraft
This resource shows how you can successfully lift a person off the ground using two cordless leaf blowers, problem-solving skills and some STEM knowledge: the same knowledge and skills that are used to design hovercraft.
Curriculum links include:
